ok, if you have Pureboot, then:
You need:
- A working computer
- USB drive, 2GB minimum capacity
- Internet connection
First part:
- On a working computer, download PureOS “live” installation image: https://pureos.net/download
- Make sure the ISO file is downloaded completely, it should have almost 2GB in size
- Then download (and install) Etcher from https://etcher.io
- Insert empty USB drive to that computer
- Start Etcher and use it to “burn” the downloaded PureOS ISO image to the USB drive — there are instructions in our wiki for this: https://tracker.pureos.net/w/recommendations/burn-using-etcher/
- When done, you have PureOS installation USB drive
Second part:
-
Insert the PureOS install USB drive (you prepared a moment ago) to your Librem laptop
-
Start your Librem — on the PurBoot menu select “Options” → “Boot options” → “USB Boot” → press ENTER on the first entry
-
Wait until full system is started
-
Perform initial setup (keyboard setup, etc) described here: https://tracker.pureos.net/w/installation_guide/pureos_initial_setup/
-
Start PureOS installer and perform system install, following instructions from https://tracker.pureos.net/w/installation_guide/live_system_installation/
-
Restart and remove the PureOS install USB
-
Insert your Librem Key and Librem Vault Drive
-
From the PureBoot menu choose “Options” → “OEM factory reset”, follow on screen instructions, like typing PIN when asked (make sure to check https://docs.puri.sm/PureBoot/GettingStarted.html#oem-factory-reset → default USER PIN is 123456, default ADMIN PIN is 12345678)
-
Restart and all should be okay
-
You can see here how to change the default USER and ADMIN PINS:
https://docs.puri.sm/PureBoot/GettingStarted.html#changing-default-secrets
But I would recommend you to do this only after reinstalling the system.
